Life

Urfus was the daughter of an Austrian finance council and state inspector. She had a sister.

After an examination by director Angelo Neumann , she joined the Association of the State Theater in Prague without having received any dramatic lessons, where she made her debut as "Raphael" in " Faust ". Promoted by the director, she achieved great success. After two years of activity, she moved to the Kaiser Jubilee City Theater in Vienna. In September 1901 she was engaged at the Hofburgtheater , which she left after a year of service. In 1906 she retired from the stage.

In 1910 she married Alexander Moissi . She founded the “Acting School Maria Moissi Berlin”, at which her husband also taught. The marriage with Moissi was divorced in 1918. Moissi supported Urfus financially after the divorce, as he had already done with her sister, who was in distress after Alfred Breiderhoff's death .

The place and time of death are unknown. In a letter dated February 4, 1922, Elisabeth Bergner speaks of Maria Moissi in the present tense, from which it can be concluded that she was still alive at the time: "Ms. Moissi thinks just like me [...]"; in May 1933 it should in the interest of Else Lasker-Schüler with Gottfried Benn spoke on the phone. She sent the letter that she wrote to the poet after this telephone call from Berlin.

Beate von Molo (1911–1998), a theater director and director, was her daughter.

Olga Wojan was one of her students .

Presumably this sister was the actress Helene Urfus, who is named in numerous theater programs alongside Alfred Breiderhoff.
